Home furniture can be complemented by the use of occasional furniture and accent pieces. Although most will initially furnish their home with the accepted tables, chairs, display cabinets, sofas and the like, a time will come when that seems just a little plain. Something seems lacking, and that is when you will turn to individual items of occasional furniture and other accent pieces.

Once you have some idea of the room and space where you want to place an occasional chair, you have to decide on a colour and whether to go with a solid colour or pattern. This get's determine by the overall design of the room and the colour palette you are already using.
